My YouTube Channel Has Officially Launched!

Spread the love

You read that right- I now have content exclusive to YouTube on my channel. I decided to start out my YouTube career through a yarn stash decluttering video- though it’s not what you’d expect. Since my family unexpectedly had to move across the country for my husband’s job, we had limited time to pack and get ready. Not only that, but his company put us up in a furnished apartment much smaller than the one we rented in Texas, so we left most of our belongings in storage for this temporary job placement. That included my yarn, so I had to leave behind everything but my essentials and favorites. I take you with me on my journey deciding what to bring for our California adventure and what to leave behind.

You can watch the video here

As all YouTubers remind us, please make sure to like, comment, and subscribe to my channel to tell me that you want to see more of my content! I promise it will only get better from here as I learn more video taking and editing from practice. I plan to share Day in the Life of a Work at Home Mom (DITL WAHM) vlogs, process videos, tutorials, and more, so you don’t want to miss it!

In this video, you will see me sort through my yarn, rediscover lost works-in-progress (WIPs), wind hand dyed treasures, and pick my favorite tools and books. I didn’t have enough room in the description to put every link I wanted to, so I will include all the links down below for the yarn and other supplies I mentioned. These are not affiliate links; I just want to share some of my faves with you!

Again, thank you so much for your support as I slowly grow my little business and try new creative outlets. I hope to be able to share more yarny things with you on YouTube now!

XO, Emily
